What do we know about the story? The game begins 30 years after the start of a snowstorm that has enveloped the world in eternal cold. As a magistrate, you are at the head of a city whose future depends on your decisions.

The deadly cold is not the only danger in Frostpunk 2. Keeping an eye on the city’s residents is just as important: among them there will be groups whose values and future plans are not always identical.
